We had an incredible private Mt. Fuji tour with Toshi-san, and I highly recommend him! From start to finish, he was extremely patient, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the history, culture, and beauty of Mt. Fuji and the surrounding areas. He answered all of our questions and made sure we had plenty of time to enjoy each stop without ever feeling rushed. What made the experience even more special was how thoughtful Toshi-san was with our family. He took our two young children into consideration when planning the day, making sure the itinerary was enjoyable and manageable for them. He was incredibly pleasant, kind, and patient in all of his interactions with them, which made us feel relaxed and able to fully enjoy the tour as parents. A special thank you to our driver as well, who was kind, friendly, and especially wonderful with our two young children. Traveling with kids can sometimes be challenging, but he made the journey comfortable and enjoyable for our entire family. We were fortunate to have beautiful views of Mt. Fuji, and every stop along the way was memorable. The scenery, local experiences, and overall itinerary exceeded our expectations. Every experience was amazing and absolutely worth it. Thank you, Toshi-san, for an unforgettable experience. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Japan. If you're looking for a knowledgeable guide who genuinely cares about creating a memorable experience for every member of your family, Toshi-san is the perfect choice.
We had the full day Mt Fuji tour with Yuki. It was a fantastic experience taking us from shrines to the wasabi farm, a lovely lunch with our host followed by saki tasting and then on up to Station 5 on Mt Fuji. We were lucky enough to have the top of Fuji peek out of the clouds for us to get some great photos. The vehicle was super comfy and perfect for the three of us. Yuki was a great guide and gave us so much interesting information on the way. Highly recommended tour.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you had a fantastic Mt. Fuji tour with Yuki and enjoyed all the experiences throughout the day. We're especially glad you were able to catch a beautiful view of Mt. Fuji! We hope to welcome you again on another tour in Japan!
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with our guide, Yuki! He made our trip to Mt. Fuji and the Wasabi Farm unforgettable. Yuki was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and professional, sharing fascinating information about the history, culture, and local area throughout the tour. His enthusiasm and passion made every stop more enjoyable, and he went above and beyond to ensure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. The views of Mt. Fuji were spectacular, and the visit to the wasabi farm was a unique and memorable experience that we would have never appreciated as much without Yuki’s expert guidance. If you’re looking for a guide who is personable, informative, and genuinely cares about providing an exceptional experience, we highly recommend Yuki. Thank you for helping create such amazing memories of Japan! We would gladly tour with him again. 😊🇯🇵🗻

Magical Trip and Yuki were great. They were accommodating to our needs. Yuki was enthusiastic and informative. He taught us much about the history and culture. He got our kids engaged and enjoy the conversations. Having a private vehicle was great. We got to go where tour buses could not and had the flexibility for pit stops if required. All of us were comfortable and liked that the tour was not crowded. We will book Magical Trip and Yuki again.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you and your family had such a comfortable and enjoyable private tour with Yuki. It's great to know he was able to keep the kids engaged and share meaningful insights into Japanese history and culture. We’re also glad the private vehicle added flexibility and made the experience even more convenient. We truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation!
Nao san, was very happy, knowledgeable and polite, great guide! We missed the crowds, the atmosphere was awesome and length of the tour was perfect. Had many great suggestions and our tour was perfect! Great for family and or couples, and price/admission fees are WELL worth it.
Nao is one of the best tour guides I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. The tour was very comprehensive, with beautiful views, amazing sceneries and hidden gems off the beaten path. Nao went above and beyond to accommodate our requests and even managed to complete our despite having an unforeseen 2hr traffic jam in the morning. 10/10 would recommend and would live to book another tour with him!
Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re so glad Nao made your tour memorable, even with the traffic jam. It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the hidden gems and beautiful scenery. We hope to welcome you again soon!
The excursion with Tushi to Mount Fuji was a truly enriching experience for us. We learned a lot about Japanese culture. We can highly recommend Tushi and the driver to everyone!
Nao is very friendly and knowledgable. He was very flexible with the schedule and catered toward our interests. Despite us being unable to see Mt. Fuji (Mother Nature), we still enjoyed our tour because of him.
We’re thrilled Nao could make your tour enjoyable with his friendly and flexible guidance. It’s great to hear you still had a wonderful experience even without seeing Mt. Fuji.
Our tour guide Ramesh was awesome. We booked a Christmas Eve tour to see Mount Fuji - but we didn’t really due to unlucky weather. Nevertheless we and Ramesh made the most of it and had a great time! Our family loves the outdoors as did Ramesh, and we all appreciated soaking in the culture and surrounding landscape and sites, albeit on a wet day. We would do it all over again without hesitation :)
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re glad to hear that, despite the weather, Ramesh was able to make the most out of the day and your family was able to enjoy the culture and scenery. We would love to welcome you back again any time!
